Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life

C
Bonobos often form friendly relationships with other bonobo s in separate social groups — the first time this has been seen in non-human primates (灵长类). This is in line with humans but in contrast to chimpanzees, another primate, which frequently kill chimps in other groups. The findings challenge the idea that humans evolved (进化) from violent apes, says Surbeck at Harvard University. “This potential to form cooperative links between different groups is not uniquely human and it might have occurred earlier than we thought,” he says.
Many animals cooperate, but they seem to do so only with those within their social circle, or in-group. Hostile (敌对的 ) interactions between groups are common among animals, including chimpanzees, so scientists have often assumed that hostility towards other social groups in humans is natural, says Samuni, also at Harvard. However, humans also often cooperate with people in different social circles, for example, by trading or teaching.
Bonobos are one of our closest living relatives. They are less studied than chimpanzees, but are known to be more peaceful, says Surbeck. To learn more about interactions between groups, Surbeck and Samuni observed 31 adult bonobo s from two social groups in Congo over a two-year period. The pair documented 95 encounters between the groups, which represented about 20% of their total observation time. Unlike chimpanzees observed in previous studies, they showed cooperation with out-group members. In fact,10% of all mutual grooming (梳毛) and 6% of all food sharing occurred among members of different social groups.
While bonobo s that groomed others usually got an immediate benefit, food sharing rarely resulted in a gift in return. This suggests that their actions were “not just motivated by selfish interests or immediate rewards”, Surbeck and Samuni report.
Otten, a researcher from the Netherlands, finds the study “exciting”, especially as it “challenges the idea of human exceptionalism” with regard to out-group cooperation. Otten says the bonobo s that were most cooperative within their groups were the same ones that cooperated more with out-group members. This agrees with findings from humans. “Scholars used to believe that in-group ‘love’ goes together with out-group ‘hate’, but recent research suggests that often in-group cooperators are also out-group cooperators,” he says.
8. What is the focus of the study on bonobos?
A. Their social behavior. B. Their survival skills.
C. Their evolutionary process. D. Their intelligence level.
9. What can be learnt about the bonobos?
A. They are humans’ closest relatives. B. They can be taught to cooperate.
C. They interact friendly beyond groups. D. They share food for immediate rewards.
10. How was the study conducted?
A. By comparing different primates. B. By observing bonobos’ interactions.
C. By listing group members’ motivations. D. By analysing statistics of previous studies.
11. How does Otten find the study?
A. Forward-looking. B. Groundbreaking.
C. Controversial. D. One-sided.
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the“ empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently- sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could contradict the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood. Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词) of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The methodology of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The theoretical basis of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher says no matter what.
B. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
C. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Rejecting complex concepts. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Learning from their own experience. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight the importance of adult’s role in children’s education and growth.
B. To advocate for a more empirical approach to belief formation across all ages.
C. To clarify a misunderstanding about elementary school students’ learning ability.
D. To persuade adults to help children rid themselves of wrong ideas about the world.

Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from textbooks. Sam was a kind-hearted boy. He longed for a chance to explore nature and wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally, the opportunity came. The class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees on Arbor Day (植树节). Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. The next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel (铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.
On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived at the school early. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to the destination.
As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. Some were responsible for shoveling the soil, some for planting the trees and the rest for watering the trees. However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was among them. Fortunately, their teacher had a wide knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone became busy. Before long, they planted about one hundred trees. Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.

While bonobo s that groomed others usually got an immediate benefit, food sharing rarely resulted in a gift in return. This suggests that their actions were “not just motivated by selfish interests or immediate rewards”, Surbeck and Samuni report.
Otten, a researcher from the Netherlands, finds the study “exciting”, especially as it “challenges the idea of human exceptionalism” with regard to out-group cooperation. Otten says the bonobo s that were most cooperative within their groups were the same ones that cooperated more with out-group members. This agrees with findings from humans. “Scholars used to believe that in-group ‘love’ goes together with out-group ‘hate’, but recent research suggests that often in-group cooperators are also out-group cooperators,” he says.
8. What is the focus of the study on bonobos?
A. Their social behavior. B. Their survival skills.
C. Their evolutionary process. D. Their intelligence level.
9. What can be learnt about the bonobos?
A. They are humans’ closest relatives. B. They can be taught to cooperate.
C. They interact friendly beyond groups. D. They share food for immediate rewards.
10. How was the study conducted?
A. By comparing different primates. B. By observing bonobos’ interactions.
C. By listing group members’ motivations. D. By analysing statistics of previous studies.
11. How does Otten find the study?
A. Forward-looking. B. Groundbreaking.
C. Controversial. D. One-sided.

【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Otten, a researcher from the Netherlands, finds the study “exciting”, especially as it “challenges the idea of human exceptionalism” with regard to out-group cooperation. Otten says the bonobo s that were most cooperative within their groups were the same ones that cooperated more with out-group members. This agrees with findings from humans. “Scholars used to believe that in-group ‘love’ goes together with out-group ‘hate’, but recent research suggests that often in-group cooperators are also out-group cooperators,” he says. (来自荷兰的研究人员Otten认为这项研究“令人兴奋”,特别是因为它在群体外合作方面“挑战了人类例外论的观点”。Otten说,在群体内最合作的倭黑猩猩与群体外成员合作得更多。这与人类的研究结果一致。他说:“学者们过去认为,群体内的‘爱’与群体外的‘恨’相伴而生,但最近的研究表明,群体内的合作者往往也是群体外的合作者。”)”可知,Otten认为这项研究是开创性的。故选B。
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the“ empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently- sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could contradict the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood. Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词) of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The methodology of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The theoretical basis of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher says no matter what.
B. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
C. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Rejecting complex concepts. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Learning from their own experience. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight the importance of adult’s role in children’s education and growth.
B. To advocate for a more empirical approach to belief formation across all ages.
C. To clarify a misunderstanding about elementary school students’ learning ability.
D. To persuade adults to help children rid themselves of wrong ideas about the world.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究探讨了儿童如何应对违背常识的说法。实验中,孩子们被要求判断不同大小的玩偶哪个最重。结果显示,尽管儿童最初相信成人的说法,但小学阶段的孩子会通过实验验证这些说法,从而更新自己的认知。这表明儿童在面对新信息时具备经验主义倾向。
【12题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段中“Each child was presented with five differently- sized objects made from painted Russian dolls.”(每个孩子面前都有五个大小不同的用俄罗斯彩绘娃娃制作的物品。)以及“The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest.”(孩子们自然而然地认为最小的娃娃最轻,最大的娃娃最重。当被要求找出最重的物体时,大多数孩子都选择了最大的那个。然后,成人要么同意孩子们的选择,要么声称最小的娃娃是最重的。)可知第三段主要描述了研究的具体方法,包括研究对象、实验设计和过程,故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect.”(发表在《发展心理学》上的一项研究探讨了儿童对与他们通常想法相反的想法的反应,以及他们是否将这些想法与他们的期望进行核对。)可知Emma假设西瓜是甜的,然后品尝验证,符合文章主旨,故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。倒数第三段中“By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs”(到了小学,他们会通过寻找新的证据来系统地检验这些说法,然后利用这些证据来更新自己的信念)可知,成年人可以从孩子身上学到从自身经验中学习的道理。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect.”(发表在《发展心理学》上的一项研究探讨了儿童对与他们通常想法相反的想法的反应,以及他们是否将这些想法与他们的期望进行核对。)以及“This way of checking, known as the“ empirical stance,” is evident by the time children reach elementary school.”(这种被称为“经验立场”的检查方式在孩子们上小学时就已经显现出来了。)并结合通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了儿童如何通过经验验证来形成信念,并建议各年龄段的人都应更多地采用这种经验立场,故选B项。

Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue on with your new running routine(新跑步者犯的最大错误之一就是跑得太多太快。慢慢地进入训练计划将有助于降低受伤风险,这样您就可以继续新的跑步习惯)”指出刚开始跑步的人会跑得太快,所以要慢慢进入训练,不要跑太多太快,G项“专家建议每周增加跑步距离不超过10%”符合,指出不要跑太多,故选G。
【18题详解】
此处是本段小标题,即新手跑步者常犯的错误之一,根据下文“Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Running is a high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body.

【19题详解】
根据本段标题“Not wearing the right equipment(没有佩戴合适的装备)”可知,本段主要介绍了新手跑步者常犯的错误之一是没有佩戴合适的装备,下文“it’s important that you wear properly for your workouts.(锻炼时正确穿着很重要)”强调跑步时正确穿着很重要,空处也应与“佩戴合适的装备”有关,F项“虽然你可能确实不需要昂贵的设备来开始跑步”符合,其中“equipment”呼应标题中的“the right equipment”,虽然你可能确实不需要昂贵的设备来开始跑步,但是锻炼时正确穿着很重要,故选F。
【20题详解】
下文“If something hurts when you run, you need to stop and treat the pain (如果跑步时感到疼痛,则需要停下来治疗疼痛)”指出跑步时如果感到疼痛,应该停下来,这说明有时候跑步会让人感到疼痛,D项“跑步有时会感到不舒服”符合,引起下文,下文介绍了感到疼痛时该如何做,故选D。

【答案】Dear Tom,
I want to share with you an exciting event that took place on the school playground last Friday — our opening ceremony for a grand sports meeting.
First, our headmaster delivered an inspiring speech, clarifying the requirements and his expectations for the competition. After that, each class showed their gymnastics to the music by turns, and the judge teachers scored them. The event concluded with a motivational talk from a former student who had achieved success in her sports career.
Personally, I found the ceremony impressive and beneficial. Not only did it help students relieve pressure but also it enhanced their sense of unity.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from textbooks. Sam was a kind-hearted boy. He longed for a chance to explore nature and wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally, the opportunity came. The class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees on Arbor Day (植树节). Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. The next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel (铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.
On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived at the school early. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to the destination.
As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. Some were responsible for shoveling the soil, some for planting the trees and the rest for watering the trees. However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was among them. Fortunately, their teacher had a wide knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone became busy. Before long, they planted about one hundred trees. Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.

【答案】
A few days later, a storm damaged some young trees in the community. After seeing what had happened, Sam felt that it was time for him to put the skills of planting trees he had learned to use. He went home and told his mom he wanted to save those trees. So he took the tools that he had used to plant the trees. With the skills taught by his teacher, he worked with his mom to replant those trees, helping the trees survive.
The neighbors praised Sam for what he had done. Sam told them about his experience of planting trees. But he owed all the kindnesses to his teacher and mother. He explained that because of his teacher and mother, he learned the skills and saved the trees. The neighbors were very happy to hear that. They said Sam was a role model and that they would ask their children to learn the skills from Sam. Sam felt proud of himself and decided to develop a better community and protect the environment with them.
